[QUOTE="Apec, post: 1485088, member: 289323"] Now, before anyone suggests a fix, I want to state the methods that I have already attempted: I have already tried -resetting PRAM -restarting routers/modems. Yes, I did wait at least 30-60 seconds for each device after taking them offline. -countless computer restarts -reinstalled OS X Snow Leopard -Deleted SystemConfiguration/keychain/network files and preferences -Tried a direct ethernet connection - no dice -Created a new user account and logged it in - still no internet available Now, the long story: My battery health is pretty screwy (which causes calibration issues- but that is not the subject of my thread) and my computer decides to force shutdown. When I turn it back on, it tells me that my date and time are wrong - they are set to some date in year 2000. No big deal I say, I've seen that before. Then I notice my internet is not working, despite being connected to my network - which initially shows full bars, then goes to an exclamation point/error symbol. So I go ahead and attempt all the above. No matter what I do, I get the same errors, which are in the screenshots below. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Wxway.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7fmLJ.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ZsrXa.png[/IMG] As I said earlier, I went ahead and researched the fixes to this problem/similar problems. None have yielded results. All other computers and devices in my home are able to use the internet without issues. At this point I am seriously considering a reformat, but I would like to know if there is anything else that I can do. [/QUOTE]
